    Pad Thai. D
    Jeff K.

    Unreal Thai, can't wait to try in person. Ordered grubhub and there was a mistake in delivery and woman who worked there when found out literally drove to deliver the missing items herself! Top class. Also threw in fried banana which we didn't order. Was great! Now into the food: Pad Thai (big portion and fantastic) Red Curry (very good, my father also tried and liked) Curry puff (my Thai friend always tells me only the best more authentic Thai have curry puff, and it is so good here. Fried banana (unexpected obviously, but good)

    Papaya salad

    Good food, fried tofu was good and not oily, the papaya salad was tasty. No one was eating inside it was all take out while we were there.

    On a frigid Christmas Eve with a torrential rain & wind storm, we feasted on delicious Thai food from Manow Kitchen, delivered promptly and correctly packed. A few of the soups, some with duck, some pork & wonton noodles, containers wrapped in saran and noodles separate to ensure freshness..beautifully done ! Perfect papaya salad, yum woosen and some steamed dumplings. My daughter enjoyed her beef pad see ew, plenty of beef and greens. Definitely recommend. Enjoy !

    Great Thai food in the area. The food it more from northeastern area of Thailand. Service was decent. Ambiance was fine. Will definitely come by again when looking for Thai food in the area.

    Pad Thai dinner version
    Jay M.

    I stopped in for Pad Thai and was too late for lunch special. The dinner version had chicken and shrimp. Good portion size, nice clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Easy to park and quick service. Food was very good, my recommendation would be more tender velvet chicken texture .. was plenty of chicken . A little more marinate to chicken. Noodles I wanted a little crispier but they did offer another dish with crispy noodles... so maybe I should have order that version. Shrimp lacked flavor or previous frozen... if frozen , I would have marinated in a spice or sriracha sauce to kick up flavor and offset frozen bland taste... all good and I'll eat there again .

    Love this small Thai restaurant. About 10 tables inside. We were here for lunch. We both ordered a lunch combo. Comes with soup, appetizer and main dish with rice. Everything was very fresh and delicious. We will be back.

    Scallion Cake
    Haley E.

    There was only a few people inside with many coming in to pickup. The servers were super attentive throughout the meal. To start we got edamame and scallion cake. The scallion cake was a hit and filled to the brim with scallions. Our favorite entree was the pad thai. Make sure to get the mango with sticky rice at the end!!

    A comparatively smaller restaurant with limited seating, probably 8-10 tables. Mostly good for groups of 2-6max. We went on a weekday for lunch and the place was 50% occupied. Our server was very welcoming and friendly. We got the Pad kee Mao, lunch combo which came with 2 fried pork dumplings,+small bowl of Tom Yum Chicken soup+entrée: fried veggies with Basil and seafood+served with rice. All food ordered was delicious. We like spicy food and the Spicy (3chilly) option worked well for us.

    Lunch Specials are to be had daily at Manow Thai Kitchen, which is a treat, since weekends are often bereft of the lunch pricing. Service was pleasant, with a smile, and with welcoming thought despite the single server covering the dining room. Without our requesting special consideration, she brought out a plastic cup covered and with a straw for our youngest member when bringing glasses of water for the table. Portions were just right as each plate at the table was cleaned. Mine of the Crispy Chicken Pad Thai $9.50/$11.50, though the chicken had been left a bit too long in its hot oil bath. The noodles were good though. If any of their Lunch Special Combos are to your liking, however, you can have a two piece appetizer (Crispy Rolls or Pork Dumplings) and a soup (Chicken Tom Yum, Veggie Tofu, or Wonton Soup) for about 2 bucks on top of the entree. They still put too much ice in their Thai Ice Tea $3, but at least it is good.

    A rare find. Inauspicious....yet the real deal. Have been searching for authentic Thai food that is not just a one trick pony. This is it.

    We are so glad Manow opened! Best Thai in Newton and surrounding. And the staff is just lovely.

    Everything was delicious in this Thai restaurant. It was really genuine Thai cooking. The service…read morewas welcoming, and the ambience was cozy and yet it was high ceiling modern. I ordered the Papaya salad, Chicken satay. Curry Shortribs and Phad See Yue with beef and the mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream. All I can say was everything was exceptionally tasty and I would definitely come back here again. This place is reasonable and not overpriced. Definitely make a reservation.

    We were hoping to get a quick meal in, but the kitchen that day was backed up or something. I think…read morethey in general were understaffed for the day. It took quite awhile to place our order, and our appetizers came out after other tables who arrived after us, got their food before us. unfortunately we were not able to stay for our entrees. We managed to flag our server down to ask them to box it to go instead of bringing the dishes out. It did seem like perhaps our order might have not been put in right away after ordering. We ordered the following: -rotı (w/ potato curry sauce) this was tasty, light and flakey / crispy. The potatoes curry sauce was so nice, balanced saltiness. -chicken wings (wl spicy garlic sauce), i personally would pass on these next time. My portion was a bit dry. The dishes we took to go, -pad see ew- this had a nice chew even after reheating later. Thought it could have used a bit more protein portion tossed in but that's just personal pref, looked a bit light. Probably the best dish we ordered. -pla pad kun chai (fried cod fish fillet w/ lemongrass + Chinese celery) this to me isn't good to take out. Needs to be eaten on site and hot. The fillets no longer were crispy, maybe seperate sauces on side next time instead of all in one container. It wasn't too enjoyable later with extra fishy smell, taste for a white fish. -Thai iced- i like a more creamier consistency Thai tea, this one was more watery style. All in all not a terrible experience but not great. 20 min before we were able to order and 40 min plus for appetizers to come out, hence we took entrees to go.

    Little Spoon is a Thai restaurant tucked into a corner of Main Street in Needham with a cozy,…read morewelcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to settle into for a relaxed dinner. We walked into a space with a cute, unique quality to it, and the menu covers a wide range of Thai dishes including ramen, curries, noodles, and rice dishes, which gives a table with different preferences plenty of directions to go. The pad see ew and basil fried rice are both solid orders that cover familiar ground competently. The noodles on the pad see ew had decent wok character and the basil fried rice was well seasoned and aromatic, though neither dish pushed beyond what you would expect from a good neighborhood Thai spot. The mango sticky rice is a satisfying finish and the sticky rice texture was on point, though the mango itself can vary depending on the season. The Thai tea is well made and a natural complement to the spicier dishes on the table. Across everything we ordered, the food was consistently good without being particularly memorable, landing in that comfortable range where you leave satisfied but not necessarily thinking about it the next day. For a weeknight dinner close to home it works well and the portion sizes are reasonable for the price. The menu is large enough that there is probably a higher ceiling to explore on return visits with some of the more distinctive options like the khao soi, tamarind wings, or crispy duck. Service and pickup accuracy have been inconsistent based on different visits, so dining in tends to produce a smoother experience than ordering out. As a neighborhood Thai option in Needham, it fills the gap well enough.

    Excellent food with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options…read more Good for both eat-in and take-out. Nice little dining room.
